Overall: This bottle is an enigma for me. I love it when I pour a glass and bananas come through with brown sugar and spices to make a tropical bourbon that didnt forget where its from. I dont like it when the citrus side just sort of blurs everything and the only distinct note is the spice... it certainly drinks above its proof, and is not a regretable buy at $25. I hope the higher end of the Old Forester line follows this profile, and simply make it more robust. Nose: Rum-esq ethanol. Green Bananas, and cooking sugar. Palate: Spicy punch right off the bat, it flashes quick but on further sips it is cinnamon and nutmeg. This opens the way for carmalized brown sugar, and a citrus brightness. The mouthfeel is oily, and awesome when ripe banana comes through. Finish: Medium. A clove spice lingers, and depending on the sip banana runts come through the nose.
